Briquette trays are not universal. Verify your grill model, series, and production year before ordering, or contact our experts for help finding the correct replacement.
How Ceramic Briquette Trays Work
A briquette tray sits above the grill burners and supports ceramic briquettes. As the grill heats, the briquettes absorb and radiate heat across the cooking surface to promote more consistent temperatures and reduce hot spots.
The heated briquettes also vaporize food drippings before they reach the burners, helping control flare-ups while producing the grilled flavor associated with ceramic briquette cooking systems.
When Should You Replace a Briquette Tray?
Replace the tray when it becomes warped, rusted, or too damaged to support the briquettes correctly. Cracked or missing briquettes, uneven temperatures, and increased flare-ups may also indicate that the tray or briquettes need attention.
- Warped or heavily rusted tray
- Broken or missing ceramic briquettes
- Damaged retaining clips or supports
- Uneven cooking temperatures
- More flare-ups than normal
OEM and Exact-Fit Briquette Trays
We carry genuine OEM briquette tray assemblies and carefully selected exact-fit replacements where available. Manufacturers may change tray dimensions, clip designs, and briquette configurations between grill series, so a similar-looking assembly may not fit correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a ceramic briquette tray do?
A ceramic briquette tray supports ceramic briquettes above the grill burners to distribute heat more evenly, reduce hot spots, and retain heat. The heated briquettes also help vaporize food drippings for more consistent grilling performance.
When should I replace my briquette tray?
Replace your briquette tray if it has become warped, rusted, or damaged. You can replace only the briquettes (where available) if they are cracked, missing, or no longer provide even heat distribution. Uneven cooking temperatures and excessive flare-ups are also common signs that replacement may be needed.
Are ceramic briquette trays universal?
No. Briquette trays are designed for specific grill brands, models and series. Even similar-looking trays may have different dimensions or mounting configurations, so always verify your grill model number before ordering.
Can I use an aftermarket briquette tray instead of OEM?
Yes, if an exact-fit replacement is available for your grill model. We offer genuine OEM briquette trays as well as carefully selected exact-fit aftermarket replacements designed to match the original dimensions and fit.
Can I replace just the ceramic briquettes?
Yes. If the stainless steel tray is still in good condition, you can often replace only the ceramic briquettes. However, if the tray is warped, rusted, or damaged, replacing the complete briquette tray assembly is recommended.
